A contemplative and atmospheric work by the British surrealist Linda Carman, exemplifies her poetic approach to the natural world. The solitary form reminiscent of a carp or catfish drifts through a muted, dreamlike space, suspended between reality and imagination.
 
Emerging from the British surrealist movement, Carman’s paintings often merge organic subjects with an inner, subconscious landscape. Fish reflects her fascination with transformation and the unseen layers of perception, capturing a moment that feels both timeless and introspective.
 
Carman (1910–1991) remains a distinctive voice within twentieth-century surrealism, her work celebrated for its subtle emotional resonance.
